Rumoured to be release on 25 Sept. No idea if it's the extended cuts or not. Death Proof is being release here in Singapore on 21 Jun which is now retitled as Grindhouse:Death Proof and Grindhouse: Planet Terror follows a month later. I guess we won't be seeing all those fake trailers by Eli Roth, Rob Zombie and Edgar Wright here in Singapore

They are showing an extended cut of QT's section Death Proof tonight at Cannes. Harvey Weinstein says that this extended cut and Planet Terror will be screened seperatley in cinemas in the UK and Europe. Still 21 September release date. Not happy!

Damn I wanted to see it as one movie! C**p! The orange adds were brilliant! My movie watching is always diminished by the same rubbish ads!The orange ones made up for it in a way! If you go to the cinema more than once a week or a few times per month the ads are torture to sit through!

Spoiler That did feel really forced. And they even show the lap dance scene in one of the trailers. Tarantino.

Spoiler It's not even like "Aww man, no lapdance! " There was just no point to it. In Planet Terror it breaks down during the sex scene, fine, but then when it comes back, the building is on fire and all Hell has broken loose. Whereas in Death Proof, it did nothing like that, it just skipped the dance and went back to the girls talking about nothing. Death Proof would've ruined the movie for me if it hadn't come back with a kickass second and third act.

This movie was amazing! And a great advantage about being in Canada, we saw the "Hobo with a Shotgun" trailer!

I think Jersey Jedi said it best also, go with a friend or two and laugh your ass off (my friend and I did just that, everyone was staring at us). Spoiler The "Missing Reel" "joke" only worked with Planet Terror though, in Death Proof it was lame.

Is the DVD going to be split up? I've heard rumours that they're releasing them seperately to make up for the disappointing opening weekend. Which is utter bulls**t. In a perfect world, they'd release an uber box set, with seperate films (with optional "full" versions via seamless branching), the original film (as it we've just seen) and Machete (DTV Film Rodriguez is making to release with Grindhouse).

Well, go check it out, this is the fun[ni]est movie I've seen in awhile. Definitely worth the price of admission.

Was actually going to see this at an actual drive-in this past weekend, until it snowed Friday afternoon. :/

I'm really hoping it's still playing at one of the ones around here by the time warmer weather decides to appear again, but if not I'll venture out to the nearest theater to see it this weekend. Just seems like the kind of movie that should be viewed at a drive-in...

They were both fun as hell to watch. I really wouldn't be able to chose one over the other, but Death Proof is the one that's been on my mind since. The trailers were all pretty great, too. Spoiler Nick Frost and Nic Cage cameos really sold me. I do think I'll be going again this weekend and help those numbers.

If anyone did that in my cinema I'd kick their arse.

Yep, like you experience is just as likely to be ruined by someone getting up to go to the toilet as much in the cinema as it is if you bought a shady DVD. Not the best logic there, FACT.

I'm so disappointed it's already flopped. I adored it. I've been reading reviews and find it hilarious that so many critics that think they like the grindhouse genres are b***hing about Tarentino's part. It's actually a much stronger and truthful representation of the film type than Planet Terror, which is really just a spoof of the 1980s late Italian toxic zombie boom. Death Proof is a modern Russ Myers flick, and all these knowledgable movie snobs (who I'm sure claim to love Myers' work) are missing the point completely.

It's AMAZING. You gotta see it in theaters though, because it's more of an experience than an actual "film" in the traditional sense. It's gotta be a packed house with a very intense crowd. But everything about it is just awesome and kick-ass, and it's a perfect homage to old-school 'so-bad-they're-great' cinema.
